Abstract
A skeleton transformation of 5-aryl-α-pyrones into dihydrofurans was developed. In the course of our study of the skeleton transformation reaction of α-pyrones by using dimethylsulfoxonium methylide, α-pyrones having an aryl group at the 5-position were converted into corresponding dihydrofurans as major products and bicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes as minor products. Selectivity for dihydrofurans was improved by optimizing the reaction conditions and investigating the substituent effect.
